Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to surgical robot systems and, more particularly, to an improved system, apparatus, and method for sensing forces applied to a surgical instrument.
- the surgeon typically operates a master controller to control the motion of surgical instruments at the surgical site from a location that may be remote from the patient (e.g., across the operating room, in a different room or a completely different building from the patient).
- the master controller usually includes one or more hand input devices, such as handheld wrist gimbals, joysticks, exoskeletal gloves, handpieces or the like, which are operatively coupled to the surgical instruments through a controller with servo motors for articulating the instruments' position and orientation at the surgical site.
- the servo motors are typically part of an electromechanical device or surgical manipulator arm (“the slave") that includes a plurality of joints, linkages, etc., that are connected together to support and control the surgical instruments that have been introduced directly into an open surgical site or through trocar sleeves inserted through incisions into a body cavity, such as the patient's abdomen.
- the slave includes a plurality of joints, linkages, etc., that are connected together to support and control the surgical instruments that have been introduced directly into an open surgical site or through trocar sleeves inserted through incisions into a body cavity, such as the patient's abdomen.
- surgical instruments such as tissue graspers, needle drivers, electrosurgical cautery probes, etc.
- a surgeon may employ a large number of different surgical instruments/tools during a procedure.
- This new method of performing telerobotic surgery through remote manipulation has created many new challenges.
- One such challenge is providing the surgeon with the ability to accurately "feel" the tissue that is being manipulated by the surgical instrument via the robotic manipulator.
- the surgeon must rely on visual indications of the forces applied by the instruments or sutures. It is desirable to sense the forces and torques applied to the tip of the instrument, such as an end effector (e.g., jaws, grasper, blades, etc.) of robotic endoscopic surgical instruments, in order to feed the forces and torques back to the surgeon user through the system hand controls or by other means such as visual display or audible tone.
- an end effector e.g., jaws, grasper, blades, etc.
- One device for this purpose from the laboratory of G. Hirzinger at DLR is described in " Review of Fixtures for Low-Invasiveness Surgery" by F.
- Another problem has been fitting and positioning the necessary wires for mechanical actuation of end effectors in as small a space as possible as relatively small instruments are typically desirable for performing surgery.
- FR-A-2693397 discloses a master-slave remote handling device for handling radioactive material in a hot cell for the nuclear industry. Strain gauges are mounted on the master side for monitoring forces applied by an operator. An alarm is activated if the forces are likely to damage the device.
- the present invention provides a surgical instrument, comprising: a shaft; a wrist joint having a distal end for coupling with an end effector and a proximal end; and a force sensor operably coupled between the shaft and the wrist joint, the force sensor including: a tube portion including a plurality of strain gauges; a cover over the plurality of strain gauges; a proximal tube portion operably coupled to the shaft; and a distal tube portion operably coupled to the proximal end of the wrist joint.
- the present invention improves the sensing and feedback of forces and/or torques to the surgeon and substantially eliminates the problem of passing delicate wires through the flexible wrist joint of the instrument.
- a force sensor apparatus may be manufactured, tested, and calibrated as a separate modular component and brought together with other components in the conventional instrument assembly process.
- the present invention provides a multi-component system, apparatus, and method for sensing forces applied to tissue while performing robotically-assisted surgical procedures on a patient, particularly including open surgical procedures, neurosurgical procedures, such as stereotaxy, and endoscopic procedures, such as laparoscopy, arthroscopy, thoracoscopy and the like.
- the apparatus and method of the present invention is particularly useful as part of a telerobotic surgical system that allows the surgeon to manipulate the surgical instruments through a servomechanism from a remote location from the patient.
- the manipulator apparatus or slave of the present invention will usually be driven by a kinematically-equivalent master having six or more degrees of freedom (e.g., 3 degrees of freedom for position and 3 degrees of freedom for orientation) to form a telepresence system with force reflection.
- a kinematically-equivalent master having six or more degrees of freedom (e.g., 3 degrees of freedom for position and 3 degrees of freedom for orientation) to form a telepresence system with force reflection.
- degrees of freedom e.g., 3 degrees of freedom for position and 3 degrees of freedom for orientation
- robotic system 10 generally includes one or more surgical manipulator assemblies 51 mounted to or near an operating table O, and a master control assembly located at a surgeon's console 90 for allowing the surgeon S to view the surgical site and to control the manipulator assemblies 51.
- the system 10 will also include one or more viewing scope assemblies and a plurality of surgical instrument assemblies 54 adapted for being removably coupled to the manipulator assemblies 51 (discussed in more detail below).
- Robotic system 10 usually includes at least two manipulator assemblies 51 and preferably three manipulator assemblies 51.
- manipulator assemblies 51 will depend on the surgical procedure and the space constraints within the operating room among other factors. As discussed in detail below, one of the assemblies 51 will typically operate a viewing scope assembly (e.g., in endoscopic procedures) for viewing the surgical site, while the other manipulator assemblies 51 operate surgical instruments 54 for performing various procedures on the patient P.
- a viewing scope assembly e.g., in endoscopic procedures
- surgical instruments 54 for performing various procedures on the patient P.
- the control assembly may be located at a surgeon's console 90 which is usually located in the same room as operating table O so that the surgeon may speak to his/her assistant(s) and directly monitor the operating procedure. However, it should be understood that the surgeon S can be located in a different room or a completely different building from the patient P.
- the master control assembly generally includes a support, a monitor for displaying an image of the surgical site to the surgeon S, and one or more master(s) for controlling manipulator assemblies 51. Master(s) may include a variety of input devices, such as hand-held wrist gimbals, joysticks, gloves, trigger-guns, hand-operated controllers, voice recognition devices or the like.
- master(s) will be provided with the same degrees of freedom as the associated surgical instrument assemblies 54 to provide the surgeon with telepresence, the perception that the surgeon is immediately adjacent to and immersed in the surgical site, and intuitiveness, the perception that the master(s) are integral with the instruments 54 so that the surgeon has a strong sense of directly and intuitively controlling instruments 54 as if they are part of his hands.
- Position, force, and tactile feedback sensors may also be employed on instrument assemblies 54 to transmit position, force, and tactile sensations from the surgical instrument back to the surgeon's hands as he/she operates the telerobotic system.
- One suitable system and method for providing telepresence to the operator is described in U.S. Patent Application No. 08/517,053, filed Aug. 21, 1995 .
- the monitor 94 will be suitably coupled to the viewing scope assembly such that an image of the surgical site is provided adjacent the surgeon's hands on surgeon console.
- monitor 94 will display an image on a display that is oriented so that the surgeon feels that he or she is actually looking directly down onto the operating site.
- an image of the surgical instruments 54 appears to be located substantially where the operator's hands are located even though the observation points (i.e., the endoscope or viewing camera) may not be from the point of view of the image.
- the real-time image is preferably transformed into a stereo image such that the operator can manipulate the end effector and the hand control as if viewing the workspace in substantially true presence.
- a servo control is provided for transferring the mechanical motion of masters to manipulator assemblies 51.
- the servo control may be separate from, or integral with the console 90.
- the servo control will usually provide force and torque feedback from the surgical instruments 51 to the hand-operated masters.
- the servo control may include a safety monitoring controller (not shown) to safely halt system operation or at least inhibit all robot motion in response to recognized undesirable conditions (e.g., exertion of excessive force on the patient, mismatched encoder readings, etc.).
- the servo control preferably has a servo bandwidth with a 3 dB cut off frequency of at least 10 hz so that the system can quickly and accurately respond to the rapid hand motions used by the surgeon and yet to filter out undesirable surgeon hand tremors.
- manipulator assemblies 51 have a relatively low inertia, and the drive motors have relatively low ratio gear or pulley couplings.
- Any suitable conventional or specialized servo control may be used in the practice of the present invention, with those incorporating force and torque feedback being particularly preferred for telepresence operation of the system.
- FIG. 3A shows a perspective view of modular force sensor apparatus 100 including in one embodiment a tube 102 including a number (e.g., 3, 4, 6, or 8) of strain gauges 104 (e.g., 104a and 104b) mounted to a surface of tube 102 and oriented axially (parallel to the lengthwise axis z of the tube).
- FIG. 3B shows the modular force sensor apparatus 100 of FIG.
- FIG. 3A operably coupled to a shaft 110 and end portion 120 of a surgical instrument in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- FIG. 3C shows a cross-section view of modular force sensor apparatus 100 including a cover or sleeve 113 over tube 102.
- force sensor apparatus 100 is a separately manufacturable module adapted for incorporation as part of the shaft 110 of laparoscopic surgical instrument 54 at a prescribed distance from the tip where there may be an articulated wrist with specialized jaws, cutting devices, or other end portion 120.
- tube 102 may be made of a sufficiently strong material and may be spool shaped, including end portions 102b, 102c with a depressed portion 102a therebetween. Strain gauges 104 may be mounted on the surface of depressed portion 102a.
- Proximal tube portion 102c operably couples to the shaft 110 of surgical instrument 54 and distal tube portion 102b operably couples to a wrist joint 121.
- the diameter of the completed force sensor apparatus matches the diameter of the instrument shaft, thus allowing the entire assembly of the instrument (including the coupled force sensor apparatus) to pass through a cannula or a seal without added friction or snagging.
- Force sensor apparatus 100 includes a through passage 109 for end portion actuation cables or rods. End features 108 of end portion 102b insure secure mounting and angular alignment to the main instrument shaft and wrist/jaw/other end portion subassembly of the instrument.
- Wire leads or optic fibers 116 e.g., shielded twisted pairs, coax, or fiber
- the wire leads or optic fibers 116 may then be embedded in an adhesive potting compound such as epoxy.
- cover 113 is positioned over and encapsulates the mounted strain gauges 104 and other circuit elements on the surface of the tube 102, thereby providing mechanical protection of the sensors.
- cover 113 is a mechanically protective woven sleeve potted on depressed portion 102a and is comprised of a woven resin impregnated fiberglass or metal braid electrical shielding.
- strain gauges 104 may be spaced in a ring at intervals around the circumference of the tube 102 (e.g., 3 gauges at 120 degrees or 4 gauges at 90 degrees).
- the signals from the sensors are combined arithmetically in various sums and differences to obtain measures of three perpendicular forces (e.g., F x , F y , and F z ) exerted upon the instrument tip and the torques about the two axes perpendicular to the shaft axis (i.e., axes x and y).
- the measurement of the forces is made independent of the orientation and effective lever arm length of an articulated wrist mechanism at the distal end of the instrument when two sets or rings of gauges are utilized.
- Forces exerted against end portion 120 are detected by the force sensing elements, which may be operably coupled to the servo control via an interrogator or a processor for notifying the surgeon of these forces (e.g., via master(s)).
- various strain gauges may be used, including but not limited to conventional foil type resistance gauges, semiconductor gauges, optic fiber type gauges using Bragg grating or Fabry-Perot technology, or others, such as strain sensing surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices.
- SAW strain sensing surface acoustic wave
- FBG Optic fiber Bragg grating
- Both fiber technologies require an interrogator unit that decodes the optically encoded strain information into electrical signals compatible with the computer control hardware of the robotic surgical system.
- a processor may then be used to calculate forces according to the signals from the strain gauges/sensors.
- strain gauge bridge circuits are completed in a manner to give the best signal for bending loads due to the lateral forces (F x and F y ) exerted on the instrument tip jaws.
- active components such as bare die op-amps and passive components such as secondary resistors or capacitors may be attached adjacent to the strain gauges connected by bond wires or optic fibers or thick film circuit traces in the manner of hybrid circuits to amplify, filter, and/or modulate the gauge output signals to reject noise sources.
- passive components such as secondary resistors or capacitors may be attached adjacent to the strain gauges connected by bond wires or optic fibers or thick film circuit traces in the manner of hybrid circuits to amplify, filter, and/or modulate the gauge output signals to reject noise sources.
- Such components are not needed for fiber optic gauges.
- Surgical instrument 54 to which force sensor apparatus 100 couples may include a circumferentially coiled insulated flex circuit style service loop of parallel conductive traces at the proximal end of the instrument shaft 110 permitting the substantially free rotation of the instrument shaft while conducting the input gauge excitation power and output gauge signals to stationary housing 150 of the instrument 54.
- Housing 150 operably interfaces with a robotic manipulator arm 51, in one embodiment via a sterile adaptor interface 152.
- Applicable housings, sterile adaptor interfaces, and manipulator arms are disclosed in U.S. Patent Application No. 11/314,040 ( US2006 161138 ) and U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/752,755, both filed on December 20, 2005 .
- Applicable shafts, end portions, housings, sterile adaptors, and manipulator arms are available from Intuitive Surgical Inc. of Sunnyvale, California.
- end portion 120 has a range of motion that includes pitch and yaw motion, rotation about the z-axis, and actuation of an end effector, via cables through shaft 110 and housing 150 that transfers motion and electrical signals from the manipulator arm 51. Movement of end portion 120 along the x, y, and z axes may be provided by the manipulator arm 51.
- Embodiments of drive assemblies, arms, forearm assemblies, adaptors, and other applicable parts are described for example in U.S. Patent Nos. 6,331,181 , 6,491,701 , and 6,770,081 .
- various surgical instruments may be improved in accordance with the present invention, including but not limited to tools with and without end effectors, such as jaws, scissors, graspers, needle holders, micro-dissectors, staple appliers, tackers, suction irrigation tools, clip appliers, cutting blades, irrigators, catheters, and suction orifices.
- the surgical instrument may comprise an electrosurgical probe for ablating, resecting, cutting or coagulating tissue.
- Such surgical instruments are commercially available from Intuitive Surgical, Inc. of Sunnyvale, California.
- the calibration data may be programmed into an integrated circuit embedded in the instrument so that the surgical system using the individual instrument can correctly identify and apply its correction factors and offsets while the instrument is in use.
- force sensor apparatus 100 of the present invention is adaptable to the size and shape constraints of robotic endoscopic surgical instruments and is suitable for a variety of instruments. Accordingly, end portions 102b, 102c may be formed into various applicable shapes and sizes. Furthermore, force sensor apparatus 100 may be manufactured, tested, and calibrated as a separate modular component and brought together with other components in the conventional instrument assembly process. Also, the sensor may be a slip on module with suitable electrical contacts that mate with contacts on the instrument shaft permitting a higher value sensor to be used with lower cost instruments of limited cycle life. In addition, the sensor structural member 102 may be comprised of an advantageous material, which may be a different material than the instrument shaft 110 whose design considerations may compromise the properties required for the sensor.
- FIGS. 4A through 4D a modular force sensor apparatus 200 is illustrated in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention.
- the descriptions of substantially similar parts or elements as those described above with respect to FIGS. 1-3 are applicable in this embodiment with respect to FIGS. 4A-4D , although redundant descriptions will be omitted.
- FIG. 4A is a perspective view of an inner tube 218 of modular force sensor apparatus 200 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- Inner tube 218 includes a proximal raised end portion 218b and a depressed portion 218a.
- Strain gauges as described above with respect to FIGS. 1-3 , may be mounted on the surface of depressed portion 218a.
- Raised end portion 218b may include grooves 112 for routing of wire leads or optic fibers from strain gauges 204.
- FIG. 4B is a partial cross-sectional view of an outer tube 214 over the inner tube 218.
- outer tube 214 of force sensor apparatus 200 is a concentric tubular structural member made of sufficiently strong materials that can encapsulate the strain gauges and other electronics within an annular gap between the inner and outer tubes 218 and 214.
- the concentric tubes are joined rigidly at the proximal end adjacent proximal portion 218b while a narrow annular gap between the distal ends near a distal portion is filled with an elastomeric material 215 that prevents the high and varying axial forces of the wrist and jaw actuator cable or rods from being transmitted through the inner tube carrying the strain gauges.
- the partially isolated tube carrying the gauges may be either the outer or the inner tube.
- the non-isolated tube of the pair may carry the entire axial cable load.
- the gauges may be placed on the interior tube to isolate the gauges from the environment.
- the outer tube 214 carries the axial cable forces and also permits the outer tube to provide mechanical protection and potentially act as EMI shielding to the gauges 204 on the inner tube 218.
- FIG. 4C highlights elastomeric material 215 between the inner tube 218 and outer tube 214 of the modular force sensor apparatus 200, and wires or fiber optic cables 216 operably coupled to gauges 204.
- FIG. 4D shows a partial cross-sectional view of the modular force sensor apparatus 200 operably coupled proximal to a wrist joint 221 of a surgical instrument in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
- Leads 216 e.g., shielded twisted pairs, coax, or optic fiber
- the leads 216 may then be embedded in an adhesive potting compound such as an epoxy.
- the wire routing may be simplified by not requiring a rotating joint service loop.
- the relative shear and compressive properties of elastomers enables this design concept.
- a suitable elastomer 215 with a low shear modulus permits the relative compression and extension of the cable load carrying tube with respect to the sensor carrying tube (which is connected rigidly at only one end of the tubes as mentioned above).
- cable loads and load changes do not affect the sensors.
- an elastomer confined between two relatively rigid surfaces where the gap between the surfaces is small compared to the extent of the surfaces behaves as a nearly incompressible rigid connection in the direction normal to the confining surfaces, in this case the radial direction of the combined annular tube structure. This causes bending moments carried in the axially loaded tube to be transmitted to and shared by the sensor tube.
- the sensor tube can advantageously detect the bending moments due to lateral loads on the instrument wrist and jaws without significant interference or "noise" from the higher varying axial cable loads carried by the other tube.
- the decoupling of the load carrying members in an endoscopic surgical instrument force sensor enables the separation of undesired jaw actuator tendon forces from desired lateral jaw load induced bending moments on the force sensor.
- the desired effect of axially de-constraining the sensor carrying tube from the cable load carrying tube at one end may be obtained by inserting an annular ring of a more rigid low friction material in the annular gap between the unconnected ends of the tubes machined for a very close fit, thereby permitting the relative axial motion but transmitting the lateral motion associated with bending moments due to the lateral tip forces.
- Another alternative is to make the tubes with a very close fit and apply a low friction coating to one or both surfaces at the distal end.
- these alternatives may create a small deadband in sensor response depending on how close a fit may be reliably obtained.
- the expansion thermal coefficients of the inner and outer tubes must also be matched or the required close fit may bind when heated or cooled.
